[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 545573, member: 14557"] My difficult child was unexpectedly out of the house and three hours away when he was still 17 and just had to learn to cope with these things. He has done better than I honestly expected. So I may not be a best person to give an advice, we kind of skipped the phase you are in. But I do think that this summer would be golden opportunity for your son to learn to manage his time. He has to do it at fall in college town. Failing classes because of bad time management is very costly way to learn. Often kids don't learn before they try and fall face down. If my son would be a same situation your is, I would like that falling to his face happen before he leaves for the college. Loosing a job in this point would be a small price to pay. Even having to postpone college for a year and take time learning these skills could cost all of you less than failing in college because of this. You can not take care of this when he leaves. I think it's better if he has chance to try, fumble and learn before he really is on his own. [/QUOTE]
